You have this girl... and you're complaining why??





Of all the most maddening, idiotic stories I have read all year, nothing beats the Ashley Cole saga, and the latest chapter has caused me to lose all respect for him. Now I hated him anyway for blocking Carlos Tenorio's sure goal for Ecuador against England in the World Cup, but you had to respect the best left back in the world. Now, the respect is gone. According to espnsoccernet, these are comments "Cashley" Cole made about the reason he left Arsenal for Chelsea." 'The club made Thierry feel wanted and special, wooing him, wining and dining him, speaking in public about how much they want him to stay, going on a deliberate charm offensive.

But me? I didn't have one dinner, one meeting or one phone call from anyone. That's not sour grapes, it's just a sad truth. The truth is that the Gunners had done nothing all season to hold on to me.'
He added: 'My worst fears were confirmed when, as Thierry and I sat in the centre circle after the final whistle, his name was sung from the rooftops while my contribution was recognised by a deafening silence.
As his chants faded away we waited for mine. And we waited. And there was nothing. `They're not bothered about me', I said, resigned to the fact. It was like I was the invisible man.' "

NOT SOUR GRAPES??? If I have ever heard sour grapes, then this is it. WAH WAH WAH, nobody likes me as much as Thierry... that's because he is ONE OF THE TOP 5 PLAYERS IN THE WORLD YOU IDIOT!!! Arsenal will be fine without Ashley Cole, especially because they got Gallas in return (who can play anywhere), but if they had lost Henry, you could already condemn them to relegation. Okay, maybe that is a bit harsh, but getting back to my point, this is exactly what's wrong with sports nowadays, GREED.

If this story doesn't make your stomach turn, then I don't know what would. How athletes are allowed to make more money than Doctors and teachers is beyond me, and another topic altogether, but Ashley Cole is one of the richest footballers in the world, and has a bangin girl(Cheryl Tweedy, pictured) to boot, but he still has to hold out for more. I hope Ashley Cole suffers a career ending injury and his girl leaves him. If that does happen... Hey Cheryl Tweedy, My name is Sam Franco. I am 6 ft 1...
